Abstract
Methods for forming integrated circuits and integrated circuits are disclosed. The integrated circuits comprise gate structures overlying and transverse to one or more fins that are delineated by trenches formed in a semiconductor substrate. Protruding portions are formed in the trenches in between the gate electrode structure on exposed sidewall surfaces of the one or more fins. The trenches are filled with an insulating material between the protruding portions and the gate structures.
